Colorado House invited Samm Melton-Hill, an LGBTQ "pastor," to give an opening prayer about Trans Day of Visibility, calling it a "necessary ritual" and that people have taken part in "colonization, the disease of Christian nationalism, transphobia, and white supremacy."

haha no. Marxists are performing entryism on Christian institutions under the Maoist theory of "Anything not dedicated to the people's revolution must be turned to suit the cause or burned to the ground so the enemies of the revolution cannot use it." They can't risk Americans having churches to fall back to and rebuild American culture when the economy collapses, that might lead to undoing some of the bullshit they've shoved into our society. Remember, Progress only goes one direction, that's why it's progress.

What I never understood is why the Feds WANT debanking in the first place. We're in Nanny Servostate Technocracy. The last thing you want is a bunch of debanked faggots to get together and find a way around debanking and solve their problems. You'd think they'd WANT someone like Null on the system so they can spy on him like a hawk and get rid of him they moment they think they can. It doesn't make sense from a Big Brother standpoint to willingly shove a person outside of Big Brother's watchful eyes.

I think it's a more civil version of black vanning someone. "Step out of line and you're persona non grata." As far as I'm aware they only tend to target the smaller targets that *can't* create that parallel economy, and they keep the number of hits low so there isn't enough people with an interest in pooling their resources to create it out of necessity. They only hit Null, they didn't nuke everyone that comes here. And while I will eventually throw him some shekels, I don't have the interest to jump out of the cushy matrix and help build something that big, and I bet I'm in the vast majority when it comes to people here on that.

It's divide and conquer, Null is now separated to a significant enough degree from the vast majority of people that'd align with him that he can't significantly affect TPTB, and done in a way that doesn't make him a martyr in most people's eyes, making it mission accomplished.

As we saw with Vic Mignogna, if they can't kill you the next best thing in their mind is to get you to kill yourself. A consolation prize is cutting you off from polite society so you go away and suffer forever.

It was Cocaine Rackets that talked about it but apparently there were chat logs that would have made it to the trial if not for Ty Beard fucking things up that spelled out that Mignogna's coworkers thought he'd kill himself if they cut him off from his fans and friends, and were intentionally doing it to cause that.

De-Banking is just the same thing. They can't put you in a death camp / gulag, the next best thing is to make you and your family homeless and unemployable and unable to speak in public until you kill yourself or waste away and don't bother them ever again. If Liz Dong Gone had his way, Null (and the rest of us) would be in a work camp farming free organic kale and quinoa for our "betters" for the rest of our lives, or dead in some unmarked grave for people guilty of hate-thoughts. But that won't work, so the next best option is banning us from ever speaking in public again.

Remember, Mastercard is the primary source behind this and Nick Sortor Someone who came out of GamerGate had a huge thread a few years ago, with receipts, about how Mastercard was working with Soros's Open whatever foundation because they think that infinity brown people means infinity people using credit cards that they'll just keep paying off forever. Anyone who has ever tried to get a muslim or african immigrant to pay a bill at all, yet alone on time, could explain the problem to these people, but they're not working with facts and logic anymore, so...

Trump had Kid Rock at the WH to sign an EO about ticket scalping, makes a joke he might wear the getup tomorrow (please wear Luffy's outfit instead)

Is this really that big of a problem? Who does this actually harm besides rich celebrities?

If Trump made this order for Pokemon cards/video games, we would get to see all the lefties suddenly support scalpers and it would be hilarious because they’ve been bitching about it nonstop for years

Liberals defeated by actually having to think about what the fuck they just said.

That article’s like a year and a half old. So they were aware that the right’s started to use their connotation games against them before the election, yet kept playing the same hand since they didn’t want to learn.

Edit:
Meanwhile, Republicans continue to proudly use words and pet phrases such as “family values,” “conservative” and “patriot” – no matter who or what is associated with the terms.

Turns out having some conviction, instead of moving goalposts whenever people pick up on your shit, has some benefits.

Another:
Part of the answer comes down to effort and discipline — Republicans devote more time to turning words into weapons and do a better job of sticking to their message, says Lindsey Cormack, a political scientist who focuses on race, gender, communications and politics at Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.

“I’ve been studying their communications for 15 years and it sort of blows me away because I think Democrats are good at doing plenty of things, but they really dropped the ball on the communications piece a lot,” Cormack says.

Cormack says conservatives have built a think-tank ecosystem of linguists and focus groups to test words and phrases for political battle. Democrats do some of the same, but with not the same level of commitment, she says.

Later on, you get DiAngelo (yes, the same woman who wrote White Fragility) saying this:
“I’m going to tell you as somebody who’s been in this work for decades, there’s no diversity industrial complex,” DiAngelo says. “When an organization has a diversity program, there’s often one person up against the entire institution. And they maybe have a staff of one or two people on a minimal budget. But using language like that implies that it’s some kind of getting over on people, like it’s some kind of trick.”

Which, for reasons everyone can figure, is bullshit.

The problem with over-relying on connotation is that it’s subjective, especially when you compare an intended meaning with the concept’s execution. Here, DEI does mean corruption, discrimination, etc. in practice. And they’ll never admit it. So when they move on to BRIDGE or whatever, the meaning everyone else gets will move on to that, because they’ll never admit the real problem. Funding and think tanks only go so far when the ideas they support are so destructive.

Absolutely wild teamup, Japan so absurdly pragmatic sometimes
"i forget 2,000 years of hatred for political expediency and honor"

Is there anything verifying an actual team up?
Because the source claiming that it's an actual counter is "a social media account affiliated with Chinese state broadcaster CCTV"

Is this trying to spin the recent regional meeting they had? Because all they said was they agreed to have more talks. Which is basically the default 'no deal' update for trade blocs.
